RLS Question

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a dashboard for our retail stores.

The dashboard needs to show the kpis for the retail store only, which i will use RLS to filter the dataset to do this.

However, I also need to show the retail store how they rank against other stores within their region, in a league table format.

Is there a way that I can do this? Maybe RLS isn't the answer?

I would like to avoid the option of using two datasets, one with RLS applied for the retail store level and one with RLS applied at the region level.

Thank you

Mike

Hi @Anonymous,

As you said, RLS not suitable for these requirement. Security filter effect will apply on data model level, you can only view filtered datasource.

In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you to duplicate tables and calculate on duplicated table in query editor.

After these steps, you need to break relationships between new table and original tables. Then you can view filter tables and summary table.
